Shannon and Thomas didn’t get to have an extensive or high-quality wedding photography experience and had never had any other professional shoots together. So, when Tori Watson Photography was dreaming up a fun, stylish shoot for an anniversary, it worked out perfectly that they were celebrating their 2nd anniversary right around that time.

There are so many fun ways to bring some styled elements into a shoot to continue celebrating your union as throughout the years. With two fabulous dresses from Anthropologie, gorgeous flowers by Keitha Thomas Designs and the setting of a fun new Brewery in the Richmond area, it was the perfect combination for our moody, boho-romantic vibe.

The model Shelbi conveyed an ethereal elegance in this shoot that was fierce and breathtaking. Her look reminded photographer Ava Maria Photography of this quote, “Sky above her, earth below her, fire within her.” The way the gown floated in the wind, her subtle glow, and wild eyes. The combination helped paint a beautiful picture. Set in the desert, with pastel mountains and neutral landscape, and her bold and beautiful bouquet simply pops.

This breathtaking scene and the unique florals were all wonderfully imagined and designed by the talented Janna Brown. Shooting alongside two photographers who Ava looks up to, Jeremy Chou Workshop and Julie Paisley Photography, who were the instructors of the shoot, it was an amazing experience that she will not soon forget!

The Warehouse XI is a beautiful neutral space with white brick walls and infinite possibilities. I think most wedding planners would agree that a neutral backdrop is a dream as it really allows for the details and colors to shine. The inspiration couple for this styled shoot is a fun-loving foodie duo that isn’t afraid to be bold with colors and would rather skip the traditional wedding fare for something more fun and delicious. Forklift Catering produced delicious and fresh food for the day, and the cake was the perfect finish that the team lovingly nicknamed the “Every Color of the Rainbow” cake. And if that wasn’t enough, Espresso Dave was the wonderful mobile coffee bar vendor, a touch guests are sure to love, especially after dancing into the night!

When it came to the color palette for this spring wedding shoot, planner Jyl Deering of Chancey Charm Boston says their motto was “go bold or go home!” They incorporated bold purple hues to brighten up the venue and serve as a pop of color against the mostly neutral space. The bowties, invites, and stemware were all purple, and they even had a custom patterned fabric top table from Be Our Guest Rentals. To further bring the bold palette into the setting, they placed three custom benches in bold jewel tones throughout the space.

If your idea of romance involves bold blues and a tropical setting, you don’t want to miss this Hawaiian wedding inspiration photographed by bonphotage. The bold blue of the ocean was the main factor which inspired the rest of the scene. The bride wore a clean, flowing Sarah Seven gown while her fiance looked handsome in a classic white tuxedo jacket, black bow tie, and black pants.

After wooing their guests on a sunset cruise aboard a private yacht, the couple hosted an intimate dinner at a private beach residence. While on board the yacht, the groom serenaded his new wife with a guitar and song melody while she took in the views, enjoying every moment. The boat’s wooden interior was decorated with floral arrangements composed of white and pink roses as well as an indigenous anthurium bloom. And the dreamy tablescape where the couple enjoyed their first dinner as a married couple was inspired by the tropics and ocean, with punches of bold yellow taper candles. Calligraphed menus adorned each place setting, and the beautiful floral arrangements delicately helped set the romantic vibe.

This team of talented vendors went above and beyond and embraced rich tones for this Stone Creek Inn romantic military elopement. The copper and gold accents of the bar mixed with the floral stylings of Barbara Dean made the ambiance come to life. The sweetheart tablescape provided by In An Instant Events with the touch of calligraphy by Honey Olive Lettering Co. that made the shoot even more romantic.

A touch of gold matched with the maroon colored envelopes, and a eucalyptus-covered chalkboard welcome sign created exquisite details. This one of a kind shoot was photographed by Shannon Ford Photography at Stone Creek Inn nestled in Rockmart, Georgia. The rustic elegance of the venue played a huge part in setting the stage for the style. And makeup and hair by Deborah Moore Hair, enhanced the bride’s beauty along with a stunning flower crown made by Blair Bailey Design. Kakes by Kena set the stage through this elegant wedding cake mixed with beautiful blush and rich red roses as well as seeded eucalyptus. To top it all, the love between these two can be felt in every image as they compliment each detail perfectly.
